1.  AIS Redfield Roadmap - Brendan Kerrigan, Chris Patterson, Rich Turner

• slides:  
• Historical precedent: OpenXCI (2014)

2.  OpenXT 8.1 Roadmap - Chris Rogers

• slides:  
• possible option: make this OpenXT 9.0, based on master, branched to stable-9 in early 2019

3.  Freeboard Mobility Use Cases: Android on OpenXT - Jafar Al-Gharaibeh

4.  Landscape: Xen Automotive, Intel ACRN, Silicon Exclusivity (SGX), AWS Nitro hypervisor, Microsoft SystemGuard, Microsoft 365 DaaS, Supply Chain Integrity, Reproducible Builds - Rich Persaud

• Stakeholder interest in BSD-licensed codebases
• Functional Safety certification driving architectures similar to OpenXT security architecture
• Fragmentation of hypervisor talent pool
• Business model changes (endpoint licensing vs. service subscriptions) aligned with device trust and end-to-end attestation

5.  Xen: nested virtualization, L1TF mitigation (core scheduling) performance - Tamas Lengyel

• Performance impact of disabling hyper-threading is workload and machine dependent
• Upstream Xen support for nesting is dependent on Intel hardware generation (broken on Skylake forward)
• Hyper-V exits in orderly fashion when nested under Xen, unclear if due to missing functionality.  No change with CPUID.

6.  Nested Virtualization: L0/L1 Xen, Bromium uXen, IBM UltraVisor, IBM/RedHat KVM — Daniel Smith

• Bromium uXen: PSEC video and uXen source code (2018)
• IBM Ultravisor: Protected Execution Facility (2017 slides) •  Architecture (2018) 

7.  Xen: Argo/v4v Hypervisor-Mediated Communication, Nesting, EPT, XSM - Christopher Clark

• Hypervisor-Mediated Exchange (HMX)
